Our town
symbol represents the Catatonk Valley, the
Catatonk Creek, our farms, and our small, friendly town. Settlement started in 1794 when four families from Farmington, Connecticut arrived to start the town. |

front of LaGeorge's Grocery. This building was originally called Candor Hall. Silent movies were shown here in the 1900's and later the high school students used the building as a gymnasium. |

several large, lovely old homes. This house on Main St. is now the Candor Funeral Parlor. |

front of the Village Hall. It used to be the local bank, but a
larger, more modern bank was built about 45 years ago.The class learned that this bank was robbed twice. The second time the robbers fled on a railroad handcar and were not caught! The town library is in back left . |
Here we are
in front of The Edge of Thyme Bed and Breakfast. Mrs. Musgrave gave us a tour and told us about the friendly ghosts that are said to inhabit the place. |
